Game 3 of the finals ended with great fanfare, with off-court topics and social media discussions reaching the highest level of the season.

Anything that determines one pales in comparison.

However, in TNT's latest program, the remarks of the show's special guest "Magic" Johnson attracted new attention from fans.

Because he reminded others that the current trend of the game is highly similar to that of the game when Digital Man played against the Lakers.

The Digital Man and the Lakers played very fiercely in the first three games, and in G3 the Digital Man only lost to the Lakers by 5 points.

But after that, the Lakers went on to win the championship.

But Barkley persisted.

"Dirk will be back in full strength in the next game, and the Mavericks will drag the game into a decisive battle. At the very least, they will bring the game to Chicago."

Although the Mavericks may not win the championship, it can be seen that Nowitzki's performance this year has convinced Barkley.

Or maybe as the uncrowned king, he doesn't want Nowitzki to follow in his footsteps.

Before Game 4, just as Barkley expected, the Mavericks announced that Nowitzki had fully recovered from the flu.

This also directly makes the outside world full of expectations for the upcoming G4.

Two days later, still at the American Airlines Center, and still in the presence of many Dallas fans, Game 4 officially started.

However, the process of this game was different from what many people imagined.

Nowitzki was clearly out of form in this game.

This is actually completely understandable. Nowitzki was infected with the flu during the last game, and there were only two days between the two games.

People who have had the flu should know that the virus attacks the human immune system and will cause sequelae.

Even if NBA players have extraordinary physical fitness, it still takes time to recover.

Not to mention that Nowitzki played such a high-intensity game while ill in the last game.

The Bulls took the lead almost immediately after the start of the game and maintained the lead until the end.

However, the Mavericks only lost by a dozen points in the end, because Xu Yong's touch on the Bulls side also fluctuated.

Because of his continued highlights, most people forgot that he was just a second-year player.

If you let Jordan play in the finals when he was in his sophomore year, it would be impossible for him to be at high energy throughout the whole game.

Fortunately, Xu Yong is a player who can perform both offensively and defensively. When his touch was not good, he put more of his energy into defense. As a result, he had crazy stats of 5 steals and 3 blocks on the defensive end.

But no matter what, the Bulls successfully won G4 and got the match point in the finals.

This is getting closer and closer to the trend predicted by Johnson.

“Do the people of Dallas still have a chance?”

"Can Nowitzki reproduce the magic?"

"Will the Mavericks become the first team in NBA history to come back from a 3-1 deficit?"

…

The media threw out question after question, warming up for Game 5, which could be the final game of the finals.

"Don't give up. Before the final whistle, we have the same chance as them. Believe in yourselves." In the locker room before the game, Carlisle, with dark circles under his eyes, was trying hard to encourage his players.

He and Nowitzki are in different positions, but their experiences are very similar.

Just as the uncrowned king without a championship is ultimately inferior, the same is true for the best head coach without a championship.

He also really wants to prove himself with this championship.

"Don't, never underestimate your opponent. This will be the toughest battle you will experience in Dallas. Our opponents will never give up. I hope this is your last battle of the season, but I hope this is also the battle you fight the hardest."

At the same time in the Bulls locker room, Thibodeau was also trying to vaccinate his players.

He didn't want to experience the lax state at the beginning of G3 again.

And he has never been one to pop champagne in advance.

An hour later, the two teams, both with 100% focus, staged a peak showdown at the American Airlines Center.

In this game, no one was sick, no one performed poorly, there was no battle to enthrone the gods, nor was there a battle to kill gods. There were only exciting offense and defense battles, and the two coaches' deployment of troops and counter-attacks.

The fans watched the game intently and expressed their admiration repeatedly.

I was impressed by the Mavericks' usual resilience. They showed no signs of giving up even when they were trailing 1-3.

I am impressed by the Bulls' unusual maturity. After winning one finals after another, they are becoming more and more like champions.

A general meets a talented person and a chess player meets a worthy opponent.

The final answer to who is stronger between the Bulls and the Mavericks was revealed after this game.

With one minute left in the game, the Bulls were leading 98 to 88.

Facts have proved that when the two teams perform normally, the difference in strength is about ten points.

The Mavericks are much stronger than outsiders expected, and the Bulls are indeed the stronger team.

When Carlisle replaced the main players, applause broke out from the fans at the American Airlines Center.

Although they failed to win the championship in the end, they were defeated by the Bulls fairly and they accepted the loss.

To comfort themselves, they are the only team this season to have beaten the Bulls in the playoffs, something that the Heat with their Big Three have never done.

However, after the game, Nowitzki sat on the bench with his head down, looking very lost.

This is expected. After missing this championship window, it may be difficult for him to get another chance.

He's not even sure if the Mavericks can continue to maintain their current strength.

You have to know that this summer, the contracts of Chandler, Barea, Caron Butler, Stevenson, Peja and others have all expired, and it is difficult for the Mavericks to keep them at the same time.

Rebuilding is the best option for the Mavericks.

Just then, he felt someone coming over and tapping his shoulder.

He looked up and saw it was Mark Cuban.

When he first arrived, Cuban was not the owner of the team yet, and he didn't have much contact with the management at that time.

But after Cuban came, he valued him very much, and he also appreciated Cuban's enthusiasm for the team. As a result, the relationship between the two became extremely close.

"You've done a great job." After Chandler on the side consciously gave up his seat, Cuban sat down and spoke.

"I will continue to strengthen the team next season. No matter how much luxury tax I have to pay, you will leave with the championship. This is my promise." Cuban's words have fully demonstrated what it means to be a man of temperament.

Nowitzki was stunned when he heard this, but he couldn't help feeling moved.

Although none of them knew whether they could succeed in the end, they kept working hard and never gave up after failure.

At the other end of the court, the Bulls players had begun to stand up one after another.

Hinrich controlled the ball to the frontcourt and signaled that he would not play anymore. The championship moment for the Bulls was about to come.

The players on the Bulls bench have stood up.

"Beep~"

As the final whistle sounded, the Bulls players began to run the court.

O'Neal was the one who looked the most excited. He rushed to Hinrich and snatched the game ball, then used his other hand to keep making the "five" gesture in the air.

Yes, he won his fifth championship, and now he has the same number of championships as Kobe.

Hinrich squatted on the ground and cried.

I wasn’t crying because the basketball was snatched away, but because my seven years of perseverance finally paid off at this moment.

Looking around, apart from Chandler on the opposite side, he was the only one left from the team seven years ago.

And probably no one would have thought that he would be the third person in the 03 Platinum Generation to win the championship after Wade and Luke Walton.

Yao Ming couldn't help but shout out excitedly, then turned around and hugged Artest tightly, nodding continuously.

In the end, he did it, and lived up to Artest's trust, and the two did it together.

At this moment, Battier, Alston, Novak and others around him all had red eyes.

What they hadn't done in Houston, this group of people accomplished in Chicago.

And except for Alstom who did not get many opportunities, everyone else had highlights in the playoffs, even Novak had a three-point buzzer-beater.

Facts have proved that it’s not that these people are not strong enough, but that the Rockets management is not good enough.

Rose was already crying on the bench.

From the moment he was elected MVP, he began to bear tremendous pressure.

No one cares that he is only 21 years old. You know, even James only led his team to the playoffs for the first time when he was 21 years old.

And this time his brothers were unable to protect him, and he could only face the overwhelming public opinion attacks alone.

But in the end he pulled through.

Xu Yong was also very excited at this moment.

Six years have passed since his rebirth. He has witnessed the scenery at four in the morning in too many places and left too many marks of sweat in those places, but at this moment, it is all worth it.

He noticed Rose and walked over and patted Rose.

Ross wiped his face with a towel, looked up with red eyes, saw that it was Xu Yong, stood up and hugged Xu Yong tightly.

"Thank you, thank you." He kept saying thank you.

Without Xu Yong, he might have struggled not only in the finals but throughout the playoffs.

But fortunately, he met Xu Yong, not anyone else.

Xu Yong reached out and patted him hard on the back.

Although Rose struggled at the beginning of the finals, he made good adjustments later. Without Rose, he and Yao Ming alone could not beat the Mavericks.

After hugging Rose, Xu Yong found Yao Ming again. The two of them laughed and then hugged each other tightly.

Nine months ago, they were the world champions, now, they are the NBA champions!

They did what Kobe did.

And it was them, two Chinese people together.

On the court, Asik, Bill Walker, Gibson and others were still running frantically. For the young people, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

But they didn't run for long because there was a post-match handshake ceremony on the field.

"Keep it up." While shaking hands with Nowitzki, Xu Yong hugged him and said words of encouragement.

Can the Mavericks win the championship again? Xu Yong doesn't know, but what he does know is that given Cuban's character, the Mavericks will most likely not dismantle the team as they did in the past, but will continue to strengthen.

Many people may not pay much attention to it, but in fact, the Mavericks' annual luxury tax during the Nowitzki era was among the highest in the league.

For example, the total salary of the Bulls and Heat this season is around 60 million, but for the Mavericks, it is 85 million.

So the Mavericks making the Finals again? That may not be completely impossible.

"In the future...we will meet again." After chatting with Cuban, Nowitzki rekindled his fighting spirit.

After the handshake ceremony, the Bulls players returned to the locker room first.

There, they will change into the champion's T-shirts and prepare for the upcoming championship award ceremony.

Of course, before that, they have one more thing to do.

Champagne celebration.

Champion champagne, the symbol of the winner!

In the locker room, the players picked up the champagne and began to shake it wildly, then opened the lid and sprayed it into the air.

But at this moment, Xu Yong noticed that Yao Ming's champagne could not be opened.gif.

It’s not his fault. After all, it’s the first time, and you always can’t find the way the first time.

Xu Yong went over and taught him again. As an NCAA champion, he also had rich experience in this area.

After learning it, Yao Ming started yelling and swinging his gun wildly like everyone else.

"The coach is here!" Gibson, who was assigned to guard the door, turned around and shouted.

Upon hearing this, the team members quickly picked up the new bottles of champagne and began to shake them, each with a smirk on their face.

When Thibodeau entered the locker room, he was puzzled when he saw that the Bulls players were all very quiet.

Just now he could hear the monkeys crying on both sides of the river, but how come the birds suddenly started singing and the mountain became even more quiet?

Before he could react, Xu Yong shouted and the players picked up the champagne in their hands and shot directly at Thibodeau.

Almost in an instant, Thibodeau took a 360-degree champagne bath with no blind spots and was splashed all over.

Thibodeau wiped his face with his hand, he was not angry, but just had a happy smile on his face.

In fact, when the team won the championship, he was extremely excited. He turned around and hugged Ma Long tightly, and the latter almost choked.

In other words, the camera didn't capture him, otherwise this would most likely be the most gaffe-like moment of the season for the Bulls head coach.

But at this moment he felt the enthusiasm of his teammates and felt even happier.

In his first year as a coach, he won the title of NBA best head coach and NBA champion. This is what it means to reach the pinnacle of your career right from the start.

By the time the Bulls players changed into their T-shirts and came out, the main stage for the award ceremony had already been set up in the venue.

Stern also appeared on the field at this time.

Because it has reached match point, which means the champion may be born at any time, Stern will be there every night.

Inside the stadium, basically half of the fans were still there.

Most of these people are local fans in Dallas.

Many people who were there would not miss the championship award ceremony, and the Bulls won fairly.

Not to mention Xu Yong's remarks at the post-match press conference that made the Dallas people feel comfortable, and the Bulls' victory in this championship thanks to the perseverance of veterans such as Yao Ming and Artest.

It's all worth the wait.

Of course, there are far more people paying attention to the award ceremony than the nearly 10,000 people left on the scene. At this moment, tens of millions of people are waiting in front of the TV, especially on the other side of the ocean and in Chicago, waiting for the moment when the champion is born.

James was also watching this championship moment in Miami.

It may sound strange, but James is in an unusually good mood right now.

Because he has already determined that if it is the Heat who break out of the Eastern Conference this year, they will definitely be able to complete a gentleman sweep like the Bulls. At worst, it will be 4 to 2, and there is no chance of a Game 7.

He had successfully convinced himself that "we were just unlucky and were restrained."

And another point is that the Bulls' current rotation has too many age and injury problems, which may break out at any time, and it may even happen next season.

He has enough confidence to win his first championship in the next season.

So at this moment he was drinking red wine and once again putting himself into the role of Rose while watching the live broadcast.

The Bulls players took to the podium one after another.

At this time, Stern was chatting with Bulls owner Jerry Lauersdorf.

In fact, if you talk about happiness, Lauensdorf is happier than his teammates.

After all, Rose and Xu Yong are still so young, Chicago is about to usher in a new era, and he will have more money in his pocket than he can fit in.

By the time everyone was ready, the reporters had already set up their cameras in front of the award ceremony, and the award ceremony finally began.

"Great games require great opponents, and we must first thank the Dallas Mavericks, who showed their desire for a championship with their hard work and resilience."

Stern's first words won thunderous cheers from the audience.

Although the Mavericks were swept by the gentlemen in terms of the big score, any normal person who watched the game knows that the Mavericks are the only team with a chance to beat the Bulls in the playoffs.

Their performance deserves everyone's respect.

"Let us congratulate the Chicago Bulls for their outstanding competitiveness and for winning the 2010-2011 NBA championship."

The moment Stern made the announcement, the Bulls players could no longer hold back and started shouting.

Xu Yong couldn't hide his excitement and raised his hand and clenched his fist towards the camera.

Everything happened as Harden said, and all his previous expectations became reality. The feeling of a dream coming true was too wonderful.

Stern handed the championship trophy to Lauersdorf, who posed for a photo and passed it to head coach Thibodeau, who then gave it to the Bulls players behind him.

At the scene, in Chicago, fans across the ocean have already started celebrating wildly for the Bulls.

The Bulls held up the trophy.

Championship moment, toast time.

Next, it will be time for the beautiful reporter’s interview and the FMVP voting.

The value of FMVP is no less than that of MVP. At least before Iguodala became the winner of this award, it was recognized by the public.

It’s just that its voting method is a bit rougher than that of MVP.

There are only 11 media outlets voting in total, so there is a lot of uncertainty about this award.

The reporter interviewed Lauersdorf, Foreman and Thibodeau one by one, and then came Xu Yong.

"How do you feel now, winning the championship in your second year?"

The reporter was quite big, Xu Yong instinctively looked down. Speaking of which, he had never controlled a big ball before. Then he smiled and said, "I feel very excited. It's my first NBA championship. It feels great for the first time."

"This is also Chicago's seventh championship and the first championship without Michael Jordan. We all know that you are a fan of Michael. Does this have any special meaning to this?" the beautiful reporter continued to ask.

"Yes, Michael has always inspired me to move forward, and I am lucky to be able to do what he did in Chicago." Xu Yong's relationship with Jordan has greatly improved now. Knowing that Jordan is most likely watching the live broadcast at this time, he did not hesitate to praise him.

"As for the seventh championship? I think it's a very good number, at least we don't have to say 'more than one, more than two... more than seven', we really won the seventh one," he added.

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place was filled with cheers.

Because of being eliminated, Dallas fans have only respect for Xu Yong out of respect for his opponent. But now you are directly targeting the Big Three of the Heat. It's like Chinese and Korean netizens meeting Japanese netizens, that's a sign of unity.

"Bang!"

James threw the wine glass in his hand.

However, because the house had wooden floors and wool blankets, the wine glass only made a dull sound when it fell to the ground.

He was so angry that he got down from his seat and tried to pick it up, but was thrown down again.

Well, this blanket worth hundreds of thousands of dollars is really thick, and the wine glass remains in its original state.

If it were a person, it would probably be smiling at him right now.

James let out a long sigh and stopped struggling with the wine glass. He sat back in the soft chair and gave a fierce look to the TV.

Be proud, before the season ends.

He also took note of this debt, and he will pay it back with interest next season!

Stern was standing aside at this time, and a staff member came over and whispered in his ear for a while.

He nodded.

The NBA is a commercial league, theoretically owned by the owners of the thirty teams. However, as the longest-serving league president (1984 to present) and the person who has promoted the prosperity and development of the NBA, Stern has a unique voice in the NBA.

So he actually has the right to decide many things in many cases.

If the NBA is compared to a gang, then he is undoubtedly the godfather.

Just now, the staff asked him whether he wanted to modify the FMVP voting results, and his answer was no.

After the beautiful reporter finished interviewing Rose and Yao Ming, it was time for the FMVP award to be presented.

The staff brought the symbolic envelope containing the results of this year's FMVP selection.

The FMVP trophy is named after Bill Russell, so Russell also walked to the podium at this time.

At this moment, the fans' eyes were filled with curiosity in addition to anticipation.

There is no doubt that Xu Yong dominated the final quarter of G2 and played a god-killing battle in G3. He is the person with the strongest presence in the finals.

But there is still some suspense about this award, because purely from the data point of view, Rose has adjusted his condition since G2 and his data is not bad.

Specifically, Xu Yong's average statistics in the five games were: 25.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 2.6 steals, 1.4 blocks, 2.4 turnovers, 47.3% shooting percentage, 39.5% three-point shooting percentage, 92.2% free throw shooting percentage;

Rose averaged 23.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 2 steals, 0.8 blocks, and 3.4 turnovers per game, with a shooting percentage of 45.5%, a three-point shooting percentage of 36.8%, and a free throw percentage of 82.8%.

From the perspective of the game to the statistics, you can understand why other players will fight for the ball and the data in the finals, because the data will determine who will receive the honor, but it will not reflect the details of the game.

Stern opened the envelope representing the result under the gaze of a crowd of fans.

"The recipient of the 2011 Bill Russell Trophy is..."

After a standard Stern pause.

"Xu Yong."

When Stern announced the result, the fans cheered.

Xu Yong is the one with better statistics, and he played a god-killing battle in G3, so he is also the more deserving one in terms of visual perception.

The Bulls players, including Rose, applauded and congratulated Xu Yong and pushed him to the front of the stage.

As team members, they know that they cannot win the championship without Xu Yong, and Xu Yong deserves it.

Russell picked up the FMVP trophy.

Xu Yong calmly took the trophy, shook hands with Mr. Russell and hugged him.

Then, the beautiful reporter handed him the microphone, and it was time for him to give his acceptance speech.

"I would say Derek deserves this award as well, he is the MVP of our team."

Before starting his formal acceptance speech, Xu Yong mentioned Ross separately.

As a reborn person, he understands this award too well.

Kobe scored the most points in the divisional playoffs in the last two of the Lakers' three consecutive championships, but he was unable to win the award in the finals because of the opponent's weak inside strength, which led to the intensification of the conflict between the OK combination;

James started because he was targeted for poor performance and saw that he couldn't get the trophy even if he won;

Durant won this award twice in a row, which led to the growing conflicts and rifts between him and the Warriors' local players.

Paul started to fight for the ball because the team was leading 2-0 and he might not get the trophy.

So it is easy to summarize a rule: when there is no very clear and dominant star player in the team, this thing can easily become a bomb that destroys the team.

Especially since Rose is the regular season MVP, maybe he doesn't have any ideas at this time, but with the media hype, it is hard not to have some ideas.

So Xu Yong used this method to emphasize the importance of Ross.

Rose was surprised, and then was moved by the cheers of his teammates and fans.

He played well in the finals, but a big part of that was because of Xu Yong.

Xu Yong puts him first, which really shows his importance to him.

Stern also showed a relieved smile at this time.

[Jordan's successor] was a big topic he once hyped, but in the end no one could do it, and it was downgraded to [Four Major Shooting Guards].

But when the words Chicago, champion, and rookie come together, it is hard not to discuss that topic.

But in a more realistic situation, Jordan's talent, averaging 28 points in his first year in the league, 37 points in his third year, and averaging 30+ points in his two seasons with the Wizards, including his injury and playing only 18 games, led the team to two three-game winning streaks...

Facts have proven that you cannot carry the weight of [Jordan's successor] by yourself.

Even though they won the Bulls their first championship since Jordan left.

But what if there are two people?

The youngest MVP, and the youngest FMVP who played the masterpiece of his career in the finals in his sophomore year.

He felt that this might be another way to succeed.

So when the staff told him that it was Xu Yong instead of Rose who won the FMVP, he did not try to change the result.

It was at this time that the results of the vote came out on social media.

Xu Yong received 5 votes, Rose 4 votes, and Yao Ming 2 votes.

Yao Ming averaged 18 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.3 blocks per game in the finals, with a shooting percentage of 53%. These stats are a little worse than Xu Yong and Rose, but he deserves it all.

After emphasizing Ross, Xu Yong then began to give his acceptance speech.

“This is a team win.”

When he opened the game with these words, Jordan, far away in Charlotte, smiled like an old father.

Chicago's seventh championship seemed to have nothing to do with him, but it seemed that his contribution was indispensable.

In fact, Xu Yong had said something similar when he won the NCAA championship, but after experiencing this finals, his understanding was obviously deeper.

"In my country, parents hope their children can achieve something, even surpass themselves. We call it 'wanting children to become dragons'. My parents are no exception. I was born in a basketball family. They all hope that I can become a basketball champion one day. So in the end, I did it, a world champion and an NBA champion."

Then when Xu Yong said the second sentence, Jordan couldn't help laughing.

This sea smell is very authentic.

"I have to thank my teammate and my big brother, Yao Ming."

Xu Yong's third sentence surprised Yao Ming a little, but it also caused whistles from the audience.

Yao Ming's toughness and sense of responsibility along the way are still very popular in the United States.

If he wins this championship, his influence and status will be greatly enhanced.

"Yao was not the first Chinese player to land in the NBA, but he proved to all of us that Chinese people can also become NBA superstars. He inspired our generation."

“I want to thank Mr. Lauersdorf, one of the NBA’s most outstanding owners;

I want to thank Mr. Foreman for bringing Yao Ming to Chicago and turning us into a championship team.

I want to thank my coach Tom, he is the most dedicated coach I have ever seen in basketball, I will not tell you that he is not married yet because he loves basketball too much;

I want to thank my teammates, Kirk, our totem; Shaq, our inside behemoth; Ron, our beast; Sean, our president; Tony, our best defensive player; Steve, our three-point killer...

Like I said, this is a team win and this award belongs not only to me but to everyone on this team.”

To tie the beginning and the end together, the person who has always received full marks in primary school composition is Xu Yong.

Of course, he added one more sentence at the end.

"I know there are countless fans supporting us in the arena, in front of the TV, across the ocean, and around the world. Thank you to every one of them. It is their support that has brought us to the end and allowed me to get this honor, the Bulls championship."

Before putting down the microphone, he shouted a slogan.

The Bulls players behind him raised their hands excitedly when they heard this.

The scene was filled with streamers, and next, it was time for the champions to celebrate.

Xu Yong's parents were also present. After stepping down from the podium, Xu Yong hugged his parents whom he hadn't seen for a long time tightly, and handed the FMVP trophy to them like a certificate.

There was unconcealable pride on the parents' faces. They hoped that their son would become a dragon. Now Xu Yongke is truly a dragon.

Harden and the others also went down to the venue, all vying to touch Xu Yong's trophy.

"I told you!" Harden looked even more arrogant, as if it was because of his language that Xu Yong was able to win the championship in Chicago.

In the end, the Devil's Four Musketeers took a group photo while touching the FMVP trophy. Just like Xu Yong said, after rounding it off, they also won the championship.

Xu Yong then took photos and left messages with some celebrities, many of whom were present tonight.

During this time, Russell took him aside and talked to him for a long time, roughly telling him not to be proud and to keep working hard.

Xu Yong could sense that it was not just a polite remark, because Russell had seen too many ups and downs and attended too many award ceremonies, so such politeness was no longer necessary.

Maybe he saw some shadows of Jordan in Xu Yong, so he would talk more with Xu Yong just like he said to Kobe, "You are my son and I will be very proud."

Xu Yong nodded seriously.

Sophomore, FMVP, championship, it is indeed easy to make people complacent.

Especially for a 20-year-old.

If he wasn't reborn, he would probably feel bloated too.

Just like when a person has not achieved anything yet, he will think that money should be spent wisely, but when he earns more than one billion yuan a year, he will think that he is not working hard enough if he cannot afford a 79 yuan eyebrow pencil.

Changes in time and status are most likely to change people's minds.

"Mr. Russell, I will." Xu Yong replied with a sincere look and a firm tone.

…

At this time, fans on social media have already started celebrating.

"This season was amazing, from the Heat's Big Three teaming up to win seven championships to the Bulls winning their seventh championship, the beginning and the end echoed each other." Comment from "KBforever".

"The Miami Heat are the best supporting cast and the best background this season, bringing us countless fun."

"I'm so looking forward to it. What if the Heat don't win the championship next season?"

"Break up the team, what else can you do? If your Big Three lose one season, you can use running-in as an excuse. But if you lose a second season? You can't say it's the young Big Three, right?"

"I think they will at least fulfill the first four years of the contract, otherwise they will be too embarrassed to face the public."

"We'll know after next season."

"This season is really exciting enough. The Spurs were eliminated in the first round, the Lakers were swept, the Heat were swept, and the finals were a god-killing battle. Everything was perfect."

"The Bulls won the championship again. What a great time to be here. My youth is back. Let's sing "Sirius" to cheer us up!"

"Now, please welcome the Chicago Bulls, the 2.03-meter shooting guard, Michael Xu!"

"The youngest MVP, the youngest FMVP, the Chicago backcourt is full of youth, the Bulls era is coming again!"

…

Fans partyed all night on social media, but the Bulls players did not go out to celebrate. Instead, after partying in the locker room, they returned to the hotel and rested early.

Early the next morning, they boarded a special plane back to Chicago.

When they landed in Chicago, O'Hare International Airport, only 27 kilometers away from the city center, was already crowded with people.

The fans got up early and waited for their heroes to return.

When the team members got off the plane, many people were stunned.

There were so many people here that it was impossible to see the end of them.

And at first glance, many of them are obviously gangsters.

That means the scene was full of police officers, otherwise there would have been a few rounds of gunfire fired into the sky to liven up the atmosphere.

It is conceivable that the championship celebration parade in a few days will probably be the most intensive working day of the year for Chicago police.

Xu Yong also fully felt the enthusiasm of the fans, because the scene was not much different from when he returned to China.

But this is understandable. The Bulls were once the supreme glory of this city, and now, it is.

And after they had walked a few steps, they saw the mayor of Chicago personally coming to greet them.

This is a bit of a grand ceremony.

The United States is a federal country, with each region taking care of its own affairs. The revival of the Bulls is just like Jordan's comeback, which can bring countless financial revenues to Chicago.

And they will be very busy these days. The championship parade is the final form of presentation, and the Bulls will organize many activities before that.

This period of time was much more busy than when Xu Yong was in Tempe, and they didn't have any free time until the championship parade.

Of course, when that day really came, all the fatigue in my body was swept away.

On this day, the streets of Chicago were deserted, and fans began to circle the city from the entrance of the United Center.

When the parade appeared in the fans' field of vision, the scene became even more crazy.

Because at the front of the parade, there was a man riding a tall horse. Looking at his attire, it was exactly the same as when Barkley rode a horse in the Dallas parade. Even that man was obviously a special actor who was chosen based on Barkley's body shape.

This scene can be interpreted as follows: There must be a place for Barkley on the Bulls' road to the championship.

You said you were stealing bamboo shoots!

But the fans in Chicago were thrilled.

And there is every reason to believe that Barkley would not be angry when he saw this scene, because this wave of popularity helped him increase greatly.

The championship parade motorcade circled the city under the leadership of "Barkley", and when they returned to the United Center, Xu Yong gave a speech on behalf of the Bulls.

There's no way around it, his speech at the Night of Champions was just too spot on.

His speech revolved around the team members. If the championship night was only mentioned briefly due to time constraints, now it would be a detailed introduction to the contributions made by each member in this championship journey.

The feeling given by this trip is that everyone on the Bulls, even Asik who was sitting on the bench handing out towels, made his contribution.

At the end of his speech, Xu Yong also made the most direct statement about the next season:

"The championship is not the end, but the beginning. Let's try again!"

Yes, after the Bulls won the championship with a 16-1 record in the playoffs, they had no reason to come only this time.
